Sep/Oct 2011 UK

As the world stock markets face an increasing crisis, some will find opportunities to convert volatility into a profitable opportunity, while others will sit this round out in an effort to preserve capital. Either way, continuing to build on your trading education is essential.

In this issue’s Commodities Corner Ben Mountfield takes a look at thorium as a nuclear energy source and its possibilities for traders; and in Currency Corner we welcome Christopher Vecchio, who joins David Rodríguez to look at the effect of the euro sovereign debt crisis on the British pound. We also welcome Harry Booth, who shares a plan for spread betting success in ‘Seven steps to a spread betting strategy’. YTE’s Ben Power speaks with trading legend John Bollinger and we also speak with Robbie Burns, aka ‘The Naked Trader’, about how he made the move to trading full time by creating multiple revenue streams combined with low-risk trades.
